This study investigated the impact of auditory-induced emotion on response inhibition. Fifty kinds of positive, neutral, and negative sounds were used as emotional materials whose presentation was followed by a Go/Nogo task. Event-related potentials were recorded for Go and Nogo tones. The response times for Go stimuli were longer under negative than under positive and neutral emotions. In addition, Go and Nogo stimuli elicited larger N1 amplitudes during neutral than during emotional… CONTINUE READING
